Castlemain Rod Shop has conversion kits to mount a 302W into TF Cortina. Have a look at this page http://www.rodshop.com.au/mounts.htm. The part No. you're looking for is EM 18. Contact them for a price.

Or.. you could sell your car and buy this. :

G'day mate
here is what you have to do with a 302 windsor i a corty.
cut the hole for the 6cly radiator to fit bolt v8 with conversion kit in hook up the auto.
have a tail shaft made to legth ?
upgrade the front brakes (crs saab or hoppers kit).
have custom made extractors to fit by exhaust joint. crs is crap and dont fit.

CRS is crap but will bolt in if you have special tools (Grinder Welder Mash Hammer or anything else to bash the out of parts )
Tailshaft DUGGAN BALANCING in Reservoir
Pipes Di Fillippo custom made awsome get coated as well to preserve investment
